FAAC Model S418

Warning Light connection

An external Warning Light may be connected to the gate operator. The light will be active while the gate is in motion both opening and closing

LIGHT

Warning light input:

Allows external Warning Light to be active during gate motion. This output is N.O. relay contacts. Power must be applied externally.

Connecting External Warning Light:

Connect Warning Light to the external power supply and Light Com and N.C. outputs following the schematic on the right.

Solar panel connection

For applications where AC Power drops out on a regular basis, an optional Solar Panel may be installed to help keep the batteries charged.

NOTE: Solar and battery backup power are for limited operations and not intended for high traffic applications. Fully charged batteries can operate a gate from 5 - 100 times depending on the application. Heavy gates, not installed properly and with poor hardware are going to operate fewer times than light gates, level, with good hardware.

Solar Panel Inputs:

Allows an optional Solar Panel to be connected to the system for added charging.

The output is limited to sunlight, gate application, battery size, and Solar Panel output. To increase capacity, increase the size of each Solar Panel.

Connecting Solar Panels:

1. Use one 20 Watt, 24VDC Solar Panel OR two 20 Watt,

12VDC Solar Panels together in series.

2. Connect the Solar Panel positive to SOLAR +

3. Connect the Solar Panel negative to SOLAR -
